Recently, the Nasdaq 2x Inverse ETF, S&P 3x Inverse ETF, VIXY, and TLT have all collectively "surged," making me wonder if I've become a contrarian indicator again. I couldn't bring myself to buy when tech stocks kept hitting new highs recently, and now with this sudden sharp drop and safe-haven assets soaring together, it just goes to show that whoever can catch the rhythm is the boss. Now that the market is panicking, VIXY is skyrocketing, and funds are rushing to embrace bonds like TLT. I'm relying entirely on short positions and safe-haven tools to recover, not sure if there's a "Crash 2.0" coming... Sigh, I was as slow as a dog when mainstream stocks hit new highs, and too scared to go all in when they crashed. I'm done.
